We apologize for being a little behind the curve on the story of Thelma Dennis, the 50-year-old woman who tormented British police and emergency workers for 24 years by obsessively phoning in fake bomb threats to 999, the U.K.’s version of 911. Apparently, not even a court-mandated electrode therapy, “which left her screaming in pain every time she dialed the third ‘9′ of 999″ seemed to break the crank-calling cycle. We’ll leave you now to gaze into her mischief-making eyes as you assess such imponderables as, “What about a court-appointed taking of her phone away?” And if you’re still looking for the Defamer angle to all this, well, we think there’s a TNT Original in here somewhere. No need to thank us–an Associate Producer credit will do. [news.bbc.co.uk]
